    hello Gardeners,

    does anyone of you have a rare form of boxwood in the garden?
    i have a large collection of boxwood , i'm looking for people interested to exchange plants.
    have a lot of other shrubs and a woodland plant collection.
    feel free to contact me by email.
    i have pictures too.

    That one looks very similar to the ordinary Box (B. sempervirens) everywhere - the fine yellow leaf tip is something I see on most Box plants.
     
  3. You're very wrong.
    this buxus harlandii 'Richard' is certainly not a common boxwood!!!!

    le fine yellow leaf tip occurs when a boxwood is hungry . that's not a problem.

    Cultivar name 'Notata' ('Gold Tip') has also been used for Buxus sempervirens exhibiting this characteristic.

    hi ,
    this boxwood has several synonym names , i only use the correct name which is registrated in the american boxwood society.
    notata = gold tip = latifolia maculata = rutundifolia aurea....

    note that the enclosed lists are not correct , i don't have all the boxwood which are listed in the 'have-list' ,

    but i do allready have buxus microphylla 'Kingsville Dwarf' , that's a good plant.

    'Latifolia Maculata' is somewhat randomly splashed with yellow thoughout the upper leaves, quite different from what I would expect 'Notata' to look like.
